NGames, a leading online publisher, is proud to announce that Facebook exclusive Naruto game, Pockie Ninja II Social, has been selected for Facebook’s list of the 25 Top-Rated Social Games. The popular social game is also leading the votes for BBG Site’s official Best Browser Game of the Year 2012 award.

Launched earlier this year, Pockie Ninja II Social boasts over 1.2 million monthly active Facebook users – a figure that is growing every day. The Naruto inspired game has enamoured players in 2012 with its unique blend of strategy, social features and colourful graphics, as well as story lines and quests based on the popular Naruto anime series.

The game tasks players with creating and managing their very own ninja village. Starting as the founder and leader of a community of ninjas, players must build a village from scratch, develop a strong economy, and recruit from a plethora of recognisable characters to use in tactical battle situations as part of the village’s offensive and defensive army. Players can team up with friends and join factions for sustained growth – or just have fun wreaking havoc on their friends villages instead.

On being recognised as one of Facebook’s 25 top-rated social games, NGames’ PR manager, Tracy says, ”We’re immensely proud to be included on the list. It’s great to see so many players enjoying our social gaming take on the Naruto anime. The recognition from Facebook is a real boost for us – and of course, so is the nomination on BBG Site.”

Pockie Ninja II Social has been nominated for BBG Site’s Best Browser Game of the Year 2012 award. NGames’ other massively popular Naurto, Bleach and One Piece inspired game, the free-to-play browser-based, Pockie Ninja II Original, is also up for the award.

Publisher NGames are hoping to make it a second year of success, following 2011′s triumph with Pockie Ninja – the first game in the Ninja series of webgames. Pockie Ninja steam-rolled more than a third of the annual categories last year, winning awards for Best Graphics, Best New Game, Best 2D Game, Favourite RPG, and the Most Popular browser game of 2011.

Pockie Ninja II Social is already first place in the 2012 voting, garnering over 40,000 votes from gamers across the world.

Between now and January 10th 2013, NGames are offering players the chance to win a limited amount of special keys by voting for either PN2 Social or PN2 Original – or both – on BBG Site. The keys unlock special rewards if either game reaches first place, including $300 worth of desirable items and $300 worth of free in-game coupons.

Unfolding across a beautifully crafted 3D world brimming with varied locations, Cyber Monster’s browser-based gameplay is brought to life with stunning, dynamic real-time shadows and weather effects, providing everything from glorious sunshine to chilly snowfall with real world accuracy.

An innovative mount system is central to Cyber Monster’s gameplay. There are hundreds of different pets to capture and raise, divided into three types: aqua, earth and air. Each pet has its own personality, ranging from cute and cuddly to just downright arrogant. Players can ride every pet they capture, be it a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a fire-breathing Dragon. When idle, pets can be tamed to learn living skills, such as farming for resources and mining for hidden treasures.

Publisher NGames are constantly adding new, rare pets to the game, providing a near endless hunt for players seeking to find the perfect collection to suit their character and play style.

A well received, highly user-friendly class system lets players take on the role of either a Mage, Warrior, Priest or a Ranger; each coming with unique special abilities that compliment others in group gameplay. Players can customise their characters by picking costumes from an extensive cos-play inspired wardrobe, choosing from classic Super Mario outfits to high profile Yagami Iori get ups.

After reaching a certain level, players can align themselves with one of two factions: The Empire or The Union. Territory wars, arena battles, team battles and exciting new raids and instances await those deemed worthy enough to join either of the warring factions.

Cyber Monster boasts an immersive turn-based battle system, allowing users to unleash a flurry of stunning skill effects as well as utilize a variety of pets to deal extra damage and provide added protection in the heat of combat.

With tons of NPC’s, events and tournaments, players seeking a new MMORPG with cute characters, innovative gameplay and a laid back community should see what Cyber Monster has to offer. Interested players can sign up for the open beta and join the fun now: http://monster.game321.com/lp/

NGames, a leading online publisher, has revealed on August 16th the four new gameplay mechanics introduced by the clan system in their Naruto and Bleach inspired MMO sequel, Pockie Ninja II Original.

In the ninja world, being part of a clan not only means inheriting powerful bloodlines and ninjutsu skills, it is also a haven where ninjas can find peace within – and some much needed protection.

As part of a clan, players can join one of three courses in the Ninjutsu Class, which is frequented by well known characters such as Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. The Ninjutsu Class is a great place for leveling up and getting involved with the Bankai System, serving as a key environment to allow players to develop their own Zanpakuto – the legendary soul-cutter swords from Bleach.

Clan ninjas can also plant their own special roots in the Ninjutsu Garden. Owning a fast growing tree will offer ways to quickly accumulate Zanpaku EXP, which can be exchanged for leveling up Zanpakuto. But the tree must be protected.

Fertile gardens are craved by monsters, who sneak in every day between 16:00 – 17:00. Ninjas must prepare to Protect the Garden during this time and banish the invading monsters from within their clan space. How players achieve this is up to them. Successfully defending the garden will be rewarded with bags of Zanpaku and Stone loot.

In the depths of the garden hides a warehouse guarded by the ninja dog Pakkun. Here, clan ninjas can rest their battle weary limbs and lick their wounds as a group while enjoying a picnic during weekends – as long as they remember to donate food to the warehouse during weekdays.

The introduction of this expansive new clan system to Pockie Ninja II Original represents another significant advancement for the popular game series. Currently in open beta, Pockie Ninja II Original has improved upon 2011′s multiple award-winning browser game, Pockie Ninja, in massive ways. The sequel and expansion has added a huge graphical upgrade powered by a new engine; brand new storylines built around Orochi Kabuto; a Bankai system; an expansive free-roaming world; and more.

NGames is still optimizing the gameplay before the official commercial launch. Players and anime fans alike are welcome to join the testing now by registering to play the game at the official website:: http://pn2.game321.com
